- FIG 2 components of the computer system 104 and the font service provider 102 are illustrated that assist with detecting improper font-related activities and taking corrective action.
- a font file 202 is delivered to the computer system 104 from the font service provider 102.
- a font manager 204 is executed by a server 206 located at the font service provider 102, in this example.
- the font manager 204 Along with gathering the font data from sources internal (e.g., storage device 208) and/or external (e.g., remotely located storage devices, etc.) to the font service provider 102, the font manager 204 also controls, maintains, etc. the trial periods that the provided fonts can be used by the computer system. Subscription periods may also be controlled by the font manager 204. With this information determined, the font file 202 (e.g., that includes font data) is delivered to the computer system 104 from the font service provider 102.
- the delivered font data (e.g., that represents the candidate fonts for use during the trial period) is stored at a particular location in memory 210 of the computer system 104.
- the location is labeled a font storage folder 212 that is accessible by an operating system 214 executed by the computer system 104.
- a local application 216 is executed by the computer system 104 to present potential candidate fonts, initiate the sending of the font request 200 to the font service provider 102, and assist the user with investigating the candidate fonts after being placed in the font storage folder 212.
- the font application 216 may register the font(s) (provided by the received font data) at the storage location (e.g., the font storage folder 212).
- a font monitor 218 is also executed by the computer system 104.
- the font monitor 218 is separate from the font application 216; however, in some arrangements a portion or the entire functionality of the font monitor 218 may be incorporated into the font application 216.
- Other architectures e.g., software, hardware, software/hardware architectures
- the font monitor is capable of detecting one or more prohibited activities involving the temporary fonts included in the font storage folder 212. For example, unauthorized copying, moving, etc.
- the font monitor 2118 is capable of detecting an attempt to improperly store one temporary font (or more) in a portion of the memory 210 (labeled folder 213).
- Such illicit operations may be initiated by a user, an application being executed by the computer system 104, a combination of user and application operations, etc.
- the probability of violating a license agreement (or potential license agreement) between the user and the font service provider, the font service provider and a developer of the temporary font, etc. may be significantly reduced.
- a data flow 300 graphically represents techniques for detecting improper operations (represented with arrow 304) regarding one or more fonts 302 in the font storage folder 212.
- One such improper operation could be the moving of one or more of the fonts 302 from the font storage folder 212 to another location of the computer system (e.g., folder 213).
- Such improper operations may be initiated by various types of actors. For example, a user (e.g., designer) may initiate the operation. Applications or other types of software may also initiate unauthorized activities; for example, a publication application (e.g., electronic document development application) may include packaging functionality that can attempt to move, copy, etc. font data (e.g., embed font(s) within an application, file, etc.).
- modifications to a folder could be considered an improper operation involving the stored fonts (e.g., trial fonts, subscription fonts, etc.).
- modifications to permissions, immutability, etc. of a folder e.g., the font storage folder 212
- the font monitor 218 is capable of detecting a variety of events indicative of an improper operation being attempted.
- the font monitor 218 may monitor information (e.g., signals, data, etc.) being provided by the operating system 214 of the computer system 104.
- some types of detectable events associated with improper operations include notifications of mounting, unmounting, etc., of storage devices internal to the computer system (e.g., hard drives), extemal to the system (e.g., pen drives (also known as flash memory sticks)), etc. Detection events may also include indications that files, folders, etc., are being created, modified, etc.
- the font monitor 218 is aware of acceptable events that should not trigger corrective action. For example, file operations of the font application 216 may be identified as acceptable activities (e.g., creating or modifying files, folders, etc.). For activities deemed improper, corrective action(s) 308 may be initiated by the font monitor 218 as graphically illustrated with arrow 310.
- One or more techniques may be employed by the font monitor 218 to receive information from the operating system 214 along with other possible sources.
- application programming interfaces API's
- routines, protocols, etc. can be utilized by the font monitor 218 to get data that represents a variety of file system events.
- data provided by the operating system 214 to the font monitor 218 can detect if a file, folder, etc. has been created, modified, etc. in the computer system or in any attached device (e.g., external hard drive, pen drive, etc.).
- the font monitor is typically alerted in fractions of a second by the employed techniques (e.g., a call back technique).
- Other types of events detectable by the font monitor 218 include status indicators. For example, if the communication link between the font service provider 102 and the computer system 104 is no longer active (e.g., a user has logged out of an established connection with a service provider), action may be taken such that trial fonts, subscription fonts, etc. may be removed from the font storage folder 212. Changes to relationships may also be detected and trigger corrective action. For example, if a related account with font service provider 102 is no longer active, suspended, etc., the user may be banned from future font trial periods, subscriptions, etc. and corrective action is initiated.
- corrective actions 308 may be initiated based upon the event(s) detected by the font monitor 218. For example, trial fonts, subscription fonts, etc. may be deleted from the font storage folder 212 to halt any further use of the fonts (e.g., the fonts are deleted due to the ending of a trial period, subscription period, etc.). If the copying, moving, etc. of fonts (from the font storage folder 212) has been detected, corrective action 308 may include the deleting of the copied versions of the fonts (in some cases, along with deleting the original versions of the fonts). In a similar manner, upon the detection of a file, folder, etc. being created, modified, etc.
- the font monitor 218 may initiate corrective action.
- the file, folder, etc. may be identified and included for being monitored (by the font monitor 218).
- corrective action may be initiated (e.g., delete the copied version of the font data, delete the file, folder, etc.). So, based upon a file, folder, etc. being created, modified, moved, etc. the unauthorized new copy of can be deleted.
- one or more techniques may be used by the font monitor 218; for example, a call back technique may be used to take such corrective action.
- Other types of corrective action may also be employed, for example, one or more alerts may be provided.
- a visual, audible, etc. alert may be presented by the computer system 104. Logging, report generation, etc. may also be considered as corrective action.
- the font monitor 218 may initiate operations to identify the party associated with the unauthorized activity (e.g., identify the user, the address of the computing device, etc.), generate a report that represents the unauthorized activity (e.g., type of activity, user identity, computing device identity, etc.), and initiate the sending of the report to one or more parties (e.g., to the font service provider 102 - for example to impose a penalty, to one or more font developers, etc.).
- the frequency of such events may decrease.
- a flowchart 400 represents some operations of a font monitor (e.g., the font monitor 218 shown in FIG. 2) being executed by a computing device (e.g., the computer system 104).
- Operations of the font monitor 218 are typically executed by a single computing device (e.g., the computer system 104); however, operations may be executed by multiple computing devices.
- the execution of operations may be distributed among two or more locations.
- a portion of the operations may be executed by an application executed by the computer system (e.g., font application 216).
- Operations of the font monitor may also be executed at two or more locations. For example, a portion of the operations may be executed at a font service provider (e.g., by the server 206), at an intermediate computing device (e.g., located between a user device and the font service provider), with one or more computing devices, etc.
- operations can be considered as initial operations of the font monitor.
- operations may include initiating 402 the file monitor (e.g., font monitor 218) and determining 404 if a trial period is active or if a subscription period is active. If such a trial period or subscription period is not active, the font monitor can wait until one or more becomes active. If such a trial period or subscription period is active, operations can include providing 406 restricted access and maintain immutability of font files, font folders, etc. for trial periods, subscription periods, etc. For example, corresponding fonts stored in the font storage folder 212 may be accessible with a valid trial period or subscription period being active. Further, during such time periods changes to font files, folders, etc. is generally prohibited to maintain font integrity.
- Operations may also include monitoring 408 for volume mounting, unmounting, etc.
- volume mounting, unmounting, etc. For example, mounting of storage devices internal to the local computing device, external to the device, etc. may eventually be involved with illicit activities such as attempts to copy, move, etc. temporary fonts (e.g., trial fonts, subscription fonts, etc.) to a location separate from the font storage folder.
- the font monitor can receive notification (e.g., from the operating system). Once alerted, the font monitor can identify the one or more volumes, devices, etc. (associated with the mounting, unmounting, etc.) in a list of current volumes, devices, etc. to be monitored.
- Operations may also include monitoring 410 the operating system for event, file, folder, etc. activities.
- the font monitor may be provided information (e.g., signals) from the operating system that indicates that a file, folder, etc. is being created, modified, etc. Monitoring may include processing received information to determine which operations may be unauthorized or allowable. For example, received information can be processed (e.g., filtered) to identify events, font files, folders, etc. associated with a link (e.g., a communication link) between the font service provider and the computer system. In some arrangements, some information from the operating system may be filtered and not acted upon. For example, file, folder, etc. operations of an application associated with providing the fonts to the computer system (e.g., font application 216) may not be considered as indicating potentially unauthorized activity.
- information e.g., signals
- Monitoring may include processing received information to determine which operations may be unauthorized or allowable. For example, received information can be processed (e.g., filtered) to identify events, font files, folders, etc. associated with a link (e.g., a communication link) between the font
- a flowchart 500 represents further operations of a font monitor (e.g., the font monitor 218 shown in FIG 2) to initiate corrective action based upon a detected event associated with unauthorized font operations. For example, upon detecting 502 that a service has halted (e.g., a user trial, subscription, etc. service has become unlinked by actions of the user, an executed application, etc.) corrective action can be initiated. Operations may include removing 504 fonts (e.g., trial fonts, subscription fonts, etc.) from the computing device (e.g., computer system 104). In some arrangements, the trial period, subscription period, etc. would be ended.
- a service halted
- the computing device e.g., computer system 104
- monitoring is not halted upon the service being halted; however, in some arrangements monitoring may be halted (e.g., monitoring is halted when trial, subscription services are unlinked).
- Flowchart 510 represents other operations that may be executed by the font monitor to initiate corrective action upon detecting an event.
- operations may include halting 514 the monitoring by the font monitor.
- the monitoring is halted for a short period of time (e.g., a fraction of a second). While halted, a list of volumes, drives, etc.
- Flowchart 520 represents operations that may be executed based upon detecting 522 that an application used to provide candidate fonts (e.g., the font application 216) has been halted (e.g., a user, another application, etc. has ended the execution of the application).
- an application used to provide candidate fonts e.g., the font application 216) has been halted (e.g., a user, another application, etc. has ended the execution of the application).
- operations may include halting 524 service, for example, a logout operation can be executed to stop services (e.g., linked to, logged into, etc.). Operations may also include removing 526 one or more fonts (e.g., trial fonts, subscription fonts, etc.) from storage on the computing device (e.g., the font storage folder 212), and, halting 528 monitoring operations (of the font monitor).
- halting 524 service for example, a logout operation can be executed to stop services (e.g., linked to, logged into, etc.).
- Operations may also include removing 526 one or more fonts (e.g., trial fonts, subscription fonts, etc.) from storage on the computing device (e.g., the font storage folder 212), and, halting 528 monitoring operations (of the font monitor).
- a flowchart 600 represents operations of a font monitor (e.g., the font monitor 218 shown in FIG 2) to initiate corrective action based upon a detected event in which a file, folder, etc. is being created, modified, etc.
- operations include detecting 602 the file/folder being created, modified, etc. (e.g., on the user computing device, on an attached external device, etc.) during a trial period, subscription period, etc. when a font application is being executed.
- operations include stepping 604 through to determine if any font file, folders, etc. associated with a font trial, subscription, etc. are involved in the creation, modification, etc. If such a font file, folder, etc.
- operations may include imposing 606 access restrictions (e.g., same immutability /locking, access permission, etc.) as applied to other files, folders, etc. associated with a font trial, subscription, etc. (e.g., the font storage folder 212). If such a font file, folder, etc. is being created, operations may include deleting 608 the newly created font file, folder, etc. (e.g., at the new destination).
- access permissions to font folders, font files, etc. is controlled to secure the related font information.
- the flowchart also monitors the creating, modifying, etc. of created files, folders, etc. for improper activities associated with the provided fonts.
- a flowchart 700 represents some operations of a font monitor (e.g., the font monitor 218 shown in FIG. 2) being executed by a computing device (e.g., the computer system 104).
- operations of the font monitor are typically executed by a single computing device (e.g., the computer system 104); however, operations may be executed by multiple computing devices.
- font monitor operations may be executed at a single site (e.g., a user's location), distributed among two or more locations, etc.
- a portion of the operations may be executed by an application that is being executed by the computer system (e.g., font application 216).
- Operations may also be executed at multiple locations; for example, a portion of the operations may be executed at a font service provider (e.g., by the server 206), at an intermediate computing device (e.g., located between a user device and the font service provider), at one or more computing devices, etc.
- a font service provider e.g., by the server 206
- an intermediate computing device e.g., located between a user device and the font service provider
- Operations may include, at a font monitor, receiving 702 data representing one or more activities related to providing one or more fonts to the computing device from a font service provider.
- received data may represent the current status of a subscription for one or more fonts being provided by a font service provider.
- Received data may also be provided from other types of sources, for example, data from an operating system of a computing device may be provided to the font monitor.
- Operations may also include identifying 704 one of the one or more activities as being associated with an unauthorized activity. For example, data from the operating system may indicate that a font file is being moved, copied, etc. in an authorized manner.
- the received data may also indicate that the subscription status with a font service provider has changed (e.g., is no longer valid), for another example.
- Operations may also include initiating action to correct the at least one activity associated with the unauthorized activity. For example, once detected, services from a font service provider may be halted, unauthorized file operations (e.g., copying, moving, etc.) may similarly be halted and any misappropriated data (e.g., copied font files) addressed (e.g., deleted) to maintain control of fonts from the font service provider.
- unauthorized file operations e.g., copying, moving, etc.
- any misappropriated data e.g., copied font files addressed (e.g., deleted) to maintain control of fonts from the font service provider.
